Ordered something for my game and it came through nicely after they accepted my documents. Sellers seem to be nice and are willing to walk you through some steps and tips.

Thank you very much, very happy to hear about the smooth experience you had, Luke.
Used this site to buy a Runescape account and later for Devilian gold. Never steered me wrong. Prices vary but i kept checking in for gold and found a good deal after a couple of days.

The safest, fastest, easiest way to get what you want and need for all your gaming addictions. I use paypal and it makes it 100x easier to get the currency of my current game im playing.

Thank you very much for the kind words and appreciation, Camdy.
I used this website a while back, but i remembered that it was a flawless service. So i needed again this time and i came back, with the same expectations i remembered. Little did i know that this website is now a catfishing site.
I bought the product and then i embarked myself into a roller coaster going straight to hell. First of all they asked you to send a proof that you are the buyer, it's totally understandable until they cross the line. After sending whatever they ask and doing it over and over, when i thought it was over they invented a discrapancy between my purchase statement from apple and my credit card, which had the same 3 numbers at the end, i sent them a message saying that they are wrong it's the same, i said it twice and they keep asking me to send them my serial number of my phone. That was the last straw that they could pull on me, i basically gave them every informations necessary to make a identity thief, i had to make a lot of calls to cancel most of my things just to be sure that it won't happen
I sincerely hope that you won't use their service, they are basically mining personal data and holding your money as an hostage
Tip for consumers:
Just don't use it, it's not a legit website
Products used:
neither

Order went by so fast that when I went to grab a bite by the time I got back 10 minutes later it was already delivered to my ingame inbox. Totally amazing.

Great to hear this, Blake; thanks a lot for sharing this kind review. You're definitely welcome!
Bought 100k and was delivered in less than 5 minutes by the seller. A+ He was insanely fast and would easily buy from him again. I just might in a few minutes!

Thanks for the amazing and kind recommendation, Kyle! We're really grateful. Enjoy your new stock of gold! :)
Very fast and reliable.
Paypal is easier than paying credit card.
I got billed 1.09 canadian, and the exchange didnt work for the vetting charge.
Pay pal was fast and worked well.

They cannot process payments. I had to enter 4 different cards multiple times before I could get them to take one. Then they charged a 6% fee on top of the prices. I tried using skrill but that was a joke they wouldn't process the payment either because the my last name was duplicated no way to change it tried opening a new account wouldn't let me use the card because they said you can only link the card to one account. Couldn't unlink the card because the account wasn't verified, won't verify account because I'm not giving them my social security number. Major pain in the $#*!, then they put the transaction on hold syaing I need to send screenshbot of transaction in my card webpage before they will process the transaction. Been at this for over half an hour still not processed.

Hello, First,
I was able to look into order 5542331, and I can see that it has already completed successfully — thank you for patiently going through our verification process.
I'm sorry if you were confused and hassled by the process, but we have this in place so we can ensure transactions are free from fraud; this eliminates the likeliness that cards are being used without the original owner's consent, and by verifying ownership, we are able to secure the legitimacy of payments.
This works in another way: in the unlikely event that your PlayerAuctions account is accessed by someone else without your knowledge, we have comparative data to bank on, and we can easily check through IP address or location changes to know that someone else is using the account. We can then call up the "new" user to ask and verify information, as we have been doing for the past few years.
If there's anything we can help you with, please use the Q&A form here in SiteJabber, and I would be happy to help.
Best,
Richard
Found a cheap bundle and immediately ordered. The payment inspection was a surprise, at first not a good one admittedly but it went through just fine and the service crew was at least nice and quick.

Thank you so much for the kind review and for bearing with the payment process, Mikey!
I'm using playerauctions as seller for few years. I never had any serious issues with them or with disbursements, I highly recommend it for everyone looking to buy or sell ingame items.

Thank you so much for the kind review, Marcin! We're very happy to see that you've accumulated a very high percentage of positive reviews and successful orders on our site! We hope you continue to enjoy trading at PlayerAuctions. :)
Happy to say that any doubts I had were squashed. The payment was a little too stricr but the rest of the process was smooth as butter so overall it was still a great purchase.

Thanks a lot for bearing with the payment process as this lets us secure the account. We hope you enjoy the purchase, Lloyd.
Have used them multiple times over the past year and have never had an issue. Only have purchased in-game currency and have no experience with account trading.

The service rendered was top notch and the transfer was done discreetly. I have no need of gold again but I know I will be coming back to them if I need more.

Thanks a lot for the kind rating and trust for us, Ianx.
This sight rocks. Fast service, secure transactions. If they are verified, you are pretty much guaranteed to get what you purchase. If not, they will work to get it resolved or refunded. A+

Befriended a lot of good sellers here since 2016 and all of them continue to do good trades on the site. Definitely one of the best gold sites if not the best already.

The first time I sold an Account, everything went fine. I got the money. Recently, they deleted PayPal as an option so my money for the 2nd account I sold got frozen until I changed my disbusement method, fair enough. Trying to change my method I noticed they dont send me an SMS and then I realized there ware 3 additional Numberns in my Phone Number. 889 randomly added. I activated my account to this number and suddenly there are 3 additional Numbers? Yeah sure, now they want my Personal ID LOL.
I am not giving a company my ID which changed my Phone Number randomly and is holding my money. This just smells like a big scam.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE.
It seems they do whatever method they want to scam you and/or get your personal data.

Hello Sebastian,
I'd like to put your mind at ease by letting you know that the servers where customer information are stored in is secured and encrypted. We NEVER share information outside of PlayerAuctions, and all information are treated confidentially and professionally.
The reason our team would like to ask for documentation like that is to occasionally verify the identity of our users and make sure the payment is getting to the intended person. Digital account theft regularly happens, and this is part of our efforts to make sure we combat fraud by maintaining transparent and relevant customer information on our end.
And to begin with, we actually need your personal data on the site. It's a requirement for payments to go through successfully because we adhere to risk management standards of getting to know our customers. This has been the intended design of our verification process since day 1. In any case, your money will be intact with us and will never be deducted or voided. Once you decide to continue the verification, it will be released back to your disbursement queue.
Please contact support@playerauctions.zendesk.com if you need further help with anything, Sebastian.
Best regards,
Richard
Thank you and much kudos for the assistance with changing my info to help with the payment. I understand I won't need to verify again and if so you have a returning customer.
Date of experience: November 14, 2022
Yes, that's correct — as long as you use the same payment account/card, you won't need to verify again. You're absolutely welcome; thank you very much for the kind review, Amy!
Very fast, hassle free. First time buying from them and was pretty sketchy at first. Seller I picked was very nice and professional. Would buy again when I need more!

PlayerAuctions runs a marketplace for buying and selling characters, virtual goods and virtual currency from massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs).
PlayerAuctions was started in 1999 by a group of gamers in the states. It was one of the first player to player marketplaces around, becoming a famous hub for earlier games such as Ultima, Diablo 2, and Everquest. It survived on a small scale for years and grew entirely organically through word of mouth, until PlayerAuctions was acquired by Itemmania in Korea.
Being rebuilt from the ground up with proprietary risk management systems, and investment meant to provide a stronger support network for gamers, PlayerAuctions was re-launched in 2008 with offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Korea. Since that time, PlayerAuctions has supported hundreds of games and activities within the wider gaming industry.
At the end of 2013 underwent a structure change to a Product structure which has shifted development focus to an agile development system which resulted in many product expansions in 2014 including Gaming Accessories, CD Key Sales, Cosplay, Trading Cards, and Software Downloads. PlayerAuctions also opened a new support center in Manila 2014 to directly manage and control the quality of services rendered to its users.
Thank you very much for the kind words, Pedro. Highly grateful for this.
